Bandsaw Box - Guitar Pick

My guitar teacher has a little cardboard box (from a piece of jewelry or something) that she keeps picks in for students at her lessons, so I thought this to-scale Fender pick-shaped box would be a nice little token of appreciation for putting up with my crossed-up chords!

Thanks to SteveMarin for the video tutorial on bandsaw boxes – gave it a stab with a chunck of cedar fencepost that was lying around. Sanded to 150 and finished with one coat of Danish oil and two coats of paste wax – it is really smoother than the pictures show. It turned out pretty decent for a quickie.

thanks for lookin’

Great idea and well executed. I’m trying to get a sense of the size: can you give a dimension, or a pic with a hand in it or something? I have several guitarists in the family, and it’d be a great gift. I’m thinking, should it fit in a guitar case, or maybe be big enough for a capo?

I love this box. I made a ‘pick box’ some years ago with a student. We used a pick for a template for the lid handle and even glued the pick to the handle. It turned out beautifully. My student gave it to her father for Christmas, as he was forever loosing his picks. Regards Hagrid
